The original suitcase budwood came from the famed vineyards of Chateau Rayas in Chateaunuef du Pape. Brought from Rhone guru John Alban's vineyard to the Coastview vineyard, via connections in all the right places.
Planted atop the highest mtn peak in Mtry Cnty, Gabilan Mountains, highest elevation in Central Coast from SF to Santa Barbara. Organically farmed. Rich in decomposed granite, limestone, watered with artesian springs. Perfect Rhone site. Sheep grazed.
